It’s not for nothing that procedures in a beauty salon are several times more effective than home experiments. It's not just about golden hands good master, but also professional means capable of performing miracles. We have the opportunity to use the compositions ourselves, but it is their correct selection that will make cosmetics not only useful, but also safe for any skin.
We have: 34 years old, nervous work, Small child, unexpectedly appeared wrinkles (and quite a few) around the eyes, facial wrinkles on the forehead, and most importantly, the oval of the face loses its clarity (no one has canceled gravity). Creams and masks are less and less effective every year. I turn to professionals for help - to salons and clinics.
I have been interested in professional cosmetics for a long time, I love exhibitions. A friend is a good cosmetologist, she wanders around salons and I follow her, at the same time I’ve seen enough of different lines, and most importantly - approaches to clients.
There are positive and negative experiences and some advice. If the topic turns out to be interesting, I will continue it in future posts.
I’ll start with an approximate classification of professional procedures (may cosmetologists forgive me):
1. Care
2. Active with skin damage
3. Hardware
Care– use masks, ampoules, serums, etc. 
Stamps: Premium (the only Russian one, so I put it in 1st place), Guinot, Academie, Babor, Decleor, Christina, Janssen, Holy Land, Algotherm, etc.
Key factors for the effectiveness of the care procedure:
1. Correct diagnosis and purpose
2. High concentrations of ingredients
3. Proper massage(or better yet, more than one)
4. A cosmetologist with head and hands to provide all of the above
What procedures have I tried (in order not to spoil the words, I’ll go over it briefly; if there’s any interest, I’ll include a detailed description of them in a separate post):
2008: course of procedures (4 pieces) Academie anti-rosacea against redness. I did it in the spring. The procedure is extremely pleasant, cooling and refreshing due to the hydro-gel film that is placed on the skin after the massage. After using it, the skin became denser, saturated with moisture and very comfortable. Result: the network of blood vessels on the face became less noticeable only during the course, but until November-December I forgot what red spots, peeling and irritation were (my skin is very sensitive). The course with a 10% discount cost 6,000 rubles.
Then I bought a mask for sensitive skin with linden to take home. Oooh, very nice mask. This was my lifesaver: if I cry, I’ll get upset - my face will immediately get terrible spots, so I’ll apply it for 15 minutes - and it’s fresh and cheerful. An excellent mask, moisturizing and soothing.
2008 – autumn: peeling Christina Rose de mer. My cosmetologist recommended its soft version. Nevertheless, the sensations were extremely uncomfortable - tingling, my face was burning. They were saved by a post-peeling mask and a special Foundation to disguise redness - all this goes into the procedure. BUT. The skin has noticeably refreshed, become silky smooth, and the pores have shrunk. In general, there is something to endure. Did it 1 time. I paid 1800 rubles. I listened to compliments for about a month. Then I put Botox (see below).
2010 spring – was a model at Global anti-aging treatment Academie(I tried to write a post about this, but somehow it didn’t work out). It was a culture shock for me. First of all, there were 3! Massage during one procedure (two on the face and one on the décolleté). Secondly, during the procedure, plaster splints are applied to the face and “stretched”, which then harden as a frame and actually tighten the skin. I’m already starting to see “jowls”, but they weren’t noticeable at all after the procedure. The skin has become denser and harder or something. The effect lasted only a week. But you need to take the course. I'm waiting for the procedure to appear in Russia. I don’t write the price, because... they take the model for free. Beauties over 35 – highly recommend.
Further Active procedures that damage the skin: these are concentrated acid peels– above 15% and injections (Botox, lip contouring) 
I don’t know many brands: Botox, Dysport, Restylane, Teosial.
Tried:
2007,2008 – botox. I put it on the forehead and on the crow's feet. I won’t tell you about the number of units, I don’t remember anymore, but I’ll go and put it again soon and I’ll write (I missed almost 2 years - I carried and fed the baby))
So, for the first time they put it on trial, she asked me to take a closer look. It turned out great: the forehead was smoothed out, the crease between the eyebrows almost disappeared. The effect completely disappeared after 5 months. So I decided to repeat it. Only this time it’s stronger, “to the fullest.” The zones are the same. It turned out to be too much. Everyone noticed that his facial expressions had changed a lot. Every 2 friends mysteriously asked “Botox?” In general, I could barely wait until a month passed and the effect became softer. Strangely enough, he lasted the same 5 months.
Finally, >Hardware cosmetology.
These are procedures using equipment (electrical, radio, photo, cryo-technology) 
I don’t write stamps, because the main thing here is not cosmetic product, and the apparatus.
I tried microcurrents on my face at the exhibition and didn’t understand the effect at all.
In addition, I tried photoepilation. Hurt. But effective. All the hair fell out (armpits and mustache). Then after 5 weeks they grew, but not all of them, 60 percent. It was necessary to repeat every 2 months, but I didn’t continue because of pregnancy.
I'm going to go to a figure correction course: ultrasound + vacuum massage. Has anyone done it? Effective?
Well, that's all for now. I hope it's not too confusing. I will be glad if this information was useful.
PS I skimmed the text and realized that I didn’t write the main thing: the pleasure of a good facial procedure with a massage is a special thing. You get up rested, as if after a full sleep, although you only spend a little over an hour.
I wish you beauty and pleasure!
Everyone knows that modern cosmetics are divided into two large and very different camps - mass and professional. The first one can be bought in a regular store for very little money, but the result will be little expressed and not too noticeable. The second one will have to be searched on the official websites of manufacturers, find dealers, best case scenario- find it at the pharmacy.
You will have to pay a lot of money for a professional face cream, but it will be worth it. The skin will literally transform into short time, will look much better, cosmetic imperfections and the defects will disappear. What kind of miracle remedy is this?
Differences from mass cosmetics
We decided to provide our skin with complete, quality care? In this case, you should know the difference between professional cosmetics and mass cosmetics. Otherwise, you risk buying a fake and not achieving desired result. When purchasing a cream from a trusted manufacturer, be able to distinguish it from a product intended for the mass consumer.
- Only a limited number of cosmetology companies produce professional series of face creams, and it is better to know them.
- They cannot be purchased in a regular store. Look for people who work in the field of cosmetology and can get you a professional face cream. Or look for contact forms on the official websites of such manufacturers.
- Such cosmetics are intended for use by specialists in beauty salons that offer visitors professional facial skin care. Therefore, these creams are different high efficiency and safety for skin health.

- The composition of professional face cream is a formula developed in accordance with innovative technologies. They include natural extracts and extracts from plant and animal organisms. These are high-molecular drugs that can penetrate deep into the dermis and actively influence the processes occurring there.
Professional face cream is a treasured product for many women. of different ages. The only question is whether everyone can afford such care. Getting this pleasure will also not be easy. Even if you have found channels through which such a cream will be delivered to you, even if you will not spare any money to purchase it, you will have to be seriously stuck at the selection stage.
Take note. In the composition of professional face creams you can find peptides (amino acids), bioactive complexes, purified oils, vitamins, and extracts. But the amount of dyes, fragrances and parabens is minimized.
